Re: Re: Motor learning

I've got 4 text books sitting in front of me, none of which regard 12/14 as being the age at which skill acquisition ceases. The motor program can be changed through specificity of practice and afferent cues. Swing mechanics do not fall under the category of automaticity to the degree that something like reading does, and can therefore be re-learned with proper coaching.

Thank you. A baseball player with talent can be taught and improved at 10-20-30 years of age if he has a good teacher. If he has a poor teacher, he will be passed by others. If he does not have talent, he needs to take up another sport if he wants success. I have seen it for almost 40 years and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
